Recently I went to a tyre shop with my friend to change his rims n tyres for his new ride so I see around for any nice rims..

 

came across this 15" and i quite like it, so I just ask sales person n he told me its a 15x7" rim. he said most 15" are 6.5" in width and thus the 0.5" extra will make the ride more stable... duno true or not? anyone knows?

7" rims are heavier,tyres needed also wider,a bit more stable.[but slower,heavier fuel comsumption.]

Wider surface contact more stable. But normal drive narrower save more fuel, all those stable or not doesn't make very significant difference.

17 x 7 rim if fitted with the correct size tyres is more stable then 15 x 6.5 rim.

 

the best fitment for 7' rim should be 205 if i not wrong.

 

dun go buy the 15 x 7 rim and use a 185 width tyre, it become worst.
